I finished my M.Sc. training in climate sciences at the Physics Institute/Institute of Applied Physics, University of Bern in May 2010 with a thesis entitled "Pacific Climate Variability Changes in Response to Freshwater Discharge in the North Atlantic". In this thesis, changes of climate variabilities and climate mode over Pacific ocean and Northern Hemisphere, such as ENSO, PDO and NAM were investigated due to their response to Atlantic Meridional Overturning Ciculation (AMOC) slowdown. Before studying climate sciences in University of Bern, I did a BSc in Physics at the University of Indonesia (2006). The BSc's work was studying the wind stress curl pattern over Java sea and Indian Ocean southern Java in association to upwelling processes by using a barotropic model which then confirmed by NOAA AVHRR data. Recently, I am working on the PhD project entitled “Climate Scenario for the greater Jakarta derived from physical understanding and future projection based on observation and modelling studies”. This research is addressed to analyse changes of precipitation extremes both for intensity and its occurrence in the greater Jakarta region. Such physical conditions as well as changes in the ambient climate conditions which are responsible for extreme events, e. g. its response to increased global mean temperature, urbanization created urban heat island effect, land use and land cover changes, and aerosol will be investigated to come to understanding of the changing character of precipitation. This project will also deliver insights in how future precipitation extremes in this region are projected to change based on physical understanding and modelling results. That eventually, such a climate scenario will be constructed.
